Scene 2
(The stage goes black and the Narrator’s spot comes up. In the darkness, a wall is moved into center stage.)
Narrator: And so our heroes went in search of the evil Muckraker. Soon, they grew tired and decided to rest.
(Light comes up on the SL side of the wall, where Flint and Sparky are leaning against it. Sparky is huddled on the floor, scared.)
Flint: Looks like we lost them… for now. (He looks at Sparky) What’s wrong, Sparky.
Sparky:
I’m scared.
Flint: Now is not a good time for fear. We’ll be lucky if Muckraker’s men don’t find us.
Sparky: We never practiced a situation like this at the academy. I’ve never dealt with enemies everywhere. I just don’t think I can do this.
(“You Can Do It (If You Really Try)” featuring Flint, Ash Guitarist, Pikachu Sax, Offstage Chorus, and Dance line)
(Light comes up on on SR of stage where Ash guitarist plays song. Dance Line dances around them.)
Flint: Sparky! You can’t just give up like that. (Sparky still looks down.) Listen…
(Sung)
In the morning when you wake up
Open your eyes to a new day
Look around at the gifts you’ve got
You’ve been so Lucky along the way
(Pikachu Saxophonist enters and joins song)
Time to finish what you’ve begun
Have the faith, you’re the one
Throw your hat high up to the sun
Now you face your greatest test
Use the lessons that you’ve learned
You goal is to be the best
And claim the prize that you’ve earned
Ever since you were a young lad
You’ve had your eye on the master plan
To reach for the top–and touch the sky
It’s your destiny to spread your wings and fly
+Offstage Chorus: You can do it if you really try
You can do it if you really try
Spread your wings and learn to fly
You can do it if you really, really try
Flint: Keep movin’ to stay alive
Trust your heart and you’ll survive
Follow your dreams never let them die
It’s your destiny to spread your wings and fly
Repeat Chorus Once
(Song underscores. Lights out SR, where Ash/Pikachu exit,Cinder/Fogg enter.)
Flint: Don’t be afraid. You will be all right. I won’t let anything happen to you. (touches her head) You can do it.
(As song ends, Sparky hugs Flint and puts her head on his shoulder. Lights fade on them.)
